Take 2: democratization of EM and crisis comms

You want more on how SM can change how we respond to crises? I was just checking my Twitter links and this story came in ...thanks to my good friend @thefiretracker2 ... It's about a new social networks analytics tool that reads trends and emerging patterns ... here are some claims:

Quantum Leap Buzz's unique capabilities include but are not limited to:1. Getting emerging news stories before they are reported in the media2. Getting actionable intelligence before the competition
3. Setting notifications on your dashboard for trending-developments with updates texted directly to your cell phone
4. Issue analysis. The ability to see patterns of sentiment around issues important to you, personally.
